mei: drop amthif internal client

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.

mei: revamp io list cleanup function.

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

Specify in function names by which object is the io list filtered: cl for a client and fp for file descriptor. In that course a code duplication is resolved by dropping mei_cl_read_cb_flush and mei_clear_list and using mei_io_list_free_fp function.

mei: replace callback structures used as list head by list_head

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

mei_dev structure used struct mei_cl_cb type variables as for holding callbacks list heads. Replace them by the actual struct list_head as there is no other info that is handled. This slims down the mei_dev structure and mostly streamline the code. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: make mei_cl_set_disconnected static

2017-01-20T13:41:57+00:00

mei_cl_set_disconnected is used only in client.c, so make it local to the file and mark static. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: make mei_io_list_flush static

mei: enable to set the internal flag for client write

2016-11-10T12:18:02+00:00

Prepare the client write functions to set the internal flag in message header. Carry both blocking and internal modes inside the transmit cb, and call internal bus function __mei_cl_send() with send mode bit mask. The Internal flag should be added only on messages generated by the driver. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: add wrapper for queuing control commands.

2016-08-30T12:39:42+00:00

Enclose the boiler plate code of allocating a control/hbm command cb and enqueueing it onto ctrl_wr.list in a convenient wrapper mei_cl_enqueue_ctrl_wr_cb(). This is a preparatory patch for enabling consecutive reads. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: drop mei_io_cb_alloc_buf

2016-08-30T12:35:14+00:00

mei_io_cb_alloc_buf have a single caller :mei_cl_alloc_cb. After amthif stopped using it, the code can be integrated into the caller and the function can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: split amthif client init from end of clients enumeration

2016-02-07T22:47:20+00:00

The amthif FW client can appear after the end of client enumeration. Amthif host client initialization is done now at FW client discovery time. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: drop reserved host client ids

2016-02-07T22:47:20+00:00

The reserved host clients can be obsoleted now, a portion of the platforms is shipped without iAMT enabled, where the reservation is not relevant and for platforms with iAMT dynamic allocation is sufficient. Dropping reserved ids makes enumeration more flexible and generic Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
